I put our crowd at about a third which is impressive at any road venue.Sound level was four to one in our favor.Yes , they were going to make us throw and we did-perfectly. I loved the big plays , we’ve lacked that ability in recent years,no longer.As the O line comes together that ability will really set up the run game.A couple of ball possession errors at the goal line , and the short kick offs were a bit frustrating but that’s about it. Good point on holding them to 200 yards.Holding any FBS squad to that is solid , and on the road at that.On a different note , a lot of talk about conference realignment with some people of influence from both camps.Finally I’m not crowing about UNCCH . Our coach is definitely on their radar..
I think 1/3 is too conservative. We were at least 50%. I was talking to a lot of App guys that got tickets from Charlotte folks and wore "neutral" out of respect for the free tickets. The end zone was mainly App Fans, the upper temp bleachers were all Apps, visitor corner all Apps, UNCC student section was about a quarter or less Apps, Home side was around 1/3 App Fans. It was a lot clearer early in the 4th that we were around 50% of the crowd.

Think about it, the average less than 10k most weeks, they had 19k+ for this one.... no way we were less than 50%.
I was at a Phillies baseball game this summer and guessed the attendance within 100 (35,800) so that makes me an expert on all things guessing attendance now. Just looking at colors UNCC had the bottom home side the away side except our section near the field house. I was in the end zone but from what I could see we have 70-80 % of that and I would think 80-85% of the top temp seats (with a goon many of open seats up there and even in the end zone.) I would say 1/3 based on shirt color is about right but if what you said is true then your numbers could be correct. We certainly had the App State chant going very well. No way the students and coaches on both sides could not tell, and at the start of the 4th quarter we owned KBS South. I tried getting a Kidd Brewer South chant going in the end zone but it did not take and may not have sounded good in a stadium anyway. The ASU chant would have a cleaner sound. And the App--South was easy to hear and respond.

I had the birthday package and for every TD I held up the Birthday card sign the 49ers gave me and wished myself a happy birthday.
yeah

They welcomed me and friends on the video Board.....I bought 16 tickets......

Anyone else notice how many tackles Tobias Edge-Campbell made Saturday? Either he dropped some weight and moved to defense or his duplicate number player D’Marco Jackson was who he meant? Lol. At any rate couldn’t they figure that out with a spotter?
